GuiIford's Bloody Field.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The erection
of monuments on the battlefield at Get
tysburg and elsewhere has developed
quite. a rage for this sort of thing.
Word comes from North Carolina that
the Old revolutionary battle ground at
Guilf0rd, in that state, is to be pre-
served by some enterprising citizens of
the vicinity. Some sixty or seventy
acres of ground, including the old field
on which that dreadful struggle took
place, have been purchased. The states
whose troops took part in the battle are
to be invited to erect monuments
thereon. They have made a pretty
careful study of the history of the bat
tie, OF its bearing upon the revolution
airy war, and believe that 1T was not
only the bloodiest picture in the annals
of the war, but that it was at Guilford
that the army of CORVALLIS was fatally
crippled, and that really Yorktown was
only the afterpiece of the great tragedy
enacted there

The Sugar Question

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 25-The depart
ment of state has received a dispatch
dated Sept. 2, from the consul at Deme-
rara. which says that planters in that
colony are abandoning the manufacture
of crystals for the English market and
turning their attention to the produc-
States, for the following reasons: The
Guiana planters cannot compete with
the American refiners, but can produce
raw sugar as cheaply as the planters of
any other country, and the Americans
pay the highest price for this class of
sugars. The consul advises the owners
and agents of American vessels engaged
in the Calcutta trade to leave their mas
tiers free to make new charters in DEM
erara. instead of chartering for the
round trip in the United States.

Are on Good Terms.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-A Washington
special says: There is not a word of
truth in the story in Republican paper
in New York that the personal relations
between Secretary Lamar and Commits
sioner Sparks are intolerable; that the
secretary has asked for the commits
stouer's resignation and that the COM
missioner was very insulting to prom
inent railroad lawyer when he called
upon him few days ago. AS to the
last point, the lawyer is MFR. Bean,
whose personal relations with the COM
missioner are friendly and who denies
the affront that is said to have been put
upon him. The personal relations of
the secretary and the commissioner are
amicable enough for all practical pur-
poses, though their understanding OF
the land laws has often cOnfiicted. The
story about demand for the commits
sioner's resignation is pure fiction.

Anarchists at Odds.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Max Adler, Ed
mund Deuss, Frank Biehlefeld and L.
Strowrowsli, editors and owners of the
anarchist organ, the Arbeiter Zeitung,
were arrested this afternoon on charge
of criminal libel, growing out of events
connected with the bOmb-throwing at
the Haymarket. The complainant is
Ernest Legner, former friend of Aug
ust Spies. Within the past fortnight
the Arbeiter Zeitung has published
charges that Legner, whom it is claimed
the anarchists expected to be an inn
portaDt witness for them in the trial
before Judge Gary, had been hired by
the police for $500 to go on secret
junket. after the fashion of the Doodle
informer Me Schneider, and that when
the anarchist trial came up, Legner was
not to be found. Legner, through his
attorneys, takes strenuous exceptions
to these charges, and caused warrants
to issue for August Belz and August
Geffers, also of the Arbeiter Zeitung.

Lelex's RemarkabIe Career.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25.-D. A. Honig's Lee
lex, that won the mile and furlong at
the Pimlico races Friday, beating VO-
lante, Swift and Bellringer, has had a
career unusual even in these days of
equine surprises. Lelex was worked in
st. Louis by firm of undertakers,
and well-behaved. intelligent animal,
and being accustomed to the average
music turned out by theater or grand
stand orchestra, he was taken from the
sOmbre part of hauling hearse to play
quadruped roles in several theater COM
panies. As the four-legged hero in Joe
Murphy's Kerry Cow and the proud
bearer of the soldier in the ''Black Hus-
-sar'' he has been equally successful, al
though evincing a preference for the
opera. In roaring comedy he appeared
in Hanlon'S Voyage ell SUISSE" His
theater services brought him no higher
compensation than 81 night.

The Lee Monument.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 25.-The ar
engagements for the laying of the corner
stone of the monument to be erected to
the memory Of Gen. r. E. Lee are COM
pleted. The event will be one of the
most imposing and impressive yet re-
corded in the annals of this city, con-
spicuous for the momentous episodes of
more than national historical Importance
of which it has been the scene. Gov.
Lee has issued invitations to several
distinguished representatives of the
United States army, who, after the
lapse of a quarter of century, will
unite with the ex-Confederate genera Is
and comrades in honoring the memory
of man who, alike as friend or foe.
while he lived possessed qualities which
won for him not only national, but a
worldwide fame and admiration.

single mill and planning mill of c. c.
LOOMS, situated about three miles
north of Little Rock, Ark, on the Iron
Mountain railroad, at Loomis station,
was consumed by fire last night. The
cause was fire in the woods, and so
fierce were the flames and so rapid their
advance that Mr.. Loomis and his men
were compelled to seek safety in flight
So parched and dry were the woods
around the mill that the flames ran
through the tops of the trees. devouring
everything in their way. About $780,
600 worth of fine lumber was destroyed
with all the buildings about them. Mr..
Loomis puts his loss at from $1,000 to
$1,000, upon which there was no insur-

MILK IN WATER.

The statement published by the GLOBE
this morning concerning the work of
the dairy commissioner shows that the
st. Paul people have been buying con-
siderable amount of water from the
milk dealers. Considering that the
average householder has to pay heavy
assessment to the water board, the addi-
tionat water tax imposed by the milk
dealer is as burthensome as it is unnec-
essary. 1t was to protect milk consum-
ers from this UBIQUITOUS water tax that
the legislature passed the law providing
for dairy commission. While the COM
missioner has been long time getting
around to an enforcement of the law, it
is gratifying to know that he
has got around to it at last, and
now proposes to make it hot for
those constituencies rascals who have
been selling water to st. Paul citizens
at the exorbitant price of 5 cents a
quart. The standard fixed by the legis-
lature for the milk test is very low. 1t
is fixed at 81, while Assistant Dairy
Commissioner JUDsoN has demon
strated that an average of the milk used
in Minnesota diaries is over per cent
The 81 per cent. standard leaves the
st. Paul milk dealer margin of nearly
Is per cent. But, it seems from the tests
that have been secretly made by the
dairy commissioner, some of the mil k
dealers have been greedy enough to
water their milk stock so and rs per
cent. This is carrying the water adul-
I'm for ,c
milk in the water to cloud it
and make it unpalatable. Good
clear water would be better worth 5
cents quart than this milky stuff that
the dealers have been imposing on our
people. But it will all come to an end
now. The dairy commissioner has
quietly made his tests, and has the evil
denee in store on which to convict the
fraudulent milk vendors, and announces
his purpose to commence prosecutions
at once.
The GLOBE is with the dairy commits
sioner in this matter, and for fear that
some guilty water-seller may escape, we
call the attention of the commits
sioner to the fact that there are
some milk vendors who have no
place of business in the city. There
are farmers and dairymen living
OIL the outskirts of the city who supply
families in town with milk every day.
We do not intimate that they would be
dishonest enough to stop at the wells
and springs they have to pass every
morning OH the road to town and pour
water into the milk cans, but for their
own vindication from suspicion, we sug-
gest that the dairy commissioners make
test of some of this country imported
milk.
